The thread about being talked into extras got me thinking. When I was new, I had a really hard time saying NO to custies. Especially since, I wanted to say NO and still have the option of selling another dance sometime in the future, if not immediately. So here are some ways I used (and still do) to say no nicely. Ohter girls, please feel free to add:
What would X cost me?
My job. I love my job. I can't risk getting fired for that.
Can you do X?
I can do a, b, and c instead.
Can you do X?
I give such an awesome dance I don't have time for that.
Can you do X?
Anybody can do that. Nobody else can give a dnace like I can!
The other girls do it.
I can't help what the other girls do; I don't do it.
The other girls do it.
Honey, comparing me to the other girls is like comparing a cadillac (or ferrari) to a chevette.
The other girls do it.
Then why don't you have a dance with one of the other girls?
Put a shocked look on your face: You want me to do WHAT? :O
Hmmm... I don't know if they will let me. :-\ I know! Let's go ask the bouncer!
